Nestlé Purina – Why Work For Us?

We Believe Pets and People are Better Together

We Stand Taller because we dare to make every day better. To give it our all. To put our name on the work we do. Doing the right things right. Making our work matter. Why? Because we care. We’re inspired by the words of our founder, William Danforth, who believed that integrity, passion, expertise and performance are the keys to Standing Taller and making good lives better.

And it’s our people who clear the path to extraordinary. It takes every one of us from every discipline to push pet nutrition forward. Our belief that pets and people are better together is a reflection of the work we do every day – our reason for coming into work in the morning. Innovation, purpose and impact are why we stay.

With a rich history of accomplishments that stretches back more than a century, we’re proud to be part of the Nestlé family, giving us the global resources needed to advance the science of nutrition, health, wellness and pet care products for millions of customers and growing. This is a story – a Tall Tail – you’re invited to be part of. Join us in enriching the bonds between pets and people. Working together, #WeStandTaller.

Cons

Sometimes the Nestle world headquarters can be very slow, process heavy and a bit too focused on standardization through NBE.

Advice to Management

Really appreciate the strong focus on "Agility" and the many ways Management communicates with employees to maintain alignment!

Difficulty

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Nestlé Purina (Saint Louis, MO) in October 2016.

Interview

The interview process started with an online application which was followed by a phone interview. After the phone interview, the second round consisted of an on-site interview. The Recruiting Team was very helpful in answering all of my questions, and even offered to help me find a hotel for the evening prior if I needed somewhere to stay.
